This is an amazingly clever and unique cartoon that must have been seen by Terry Gilliam (of "Monty Python" fame), as the cartoons he m ade for the show seemed strongly inspired by this wacky film. Not only is the art style very, very similar (with cut out pictures being animated) but the kooky style of narration and the many oddities about the film were later seen on the Python show. For example, offering an item and giving the price for it and the place to mail it (both changing each time they are shown) was used by the show on several occasions. There also is a very subversive sexuality about it and the animation for the announcer is amazingly similar for illiam's work as well.

汤姆和杰瑞的故事风靡一时，自然他们的周边也相应得到生产与推广。曾几何时，一款猫和老鼠的卡通玩具装正式发售，里面有我们熟悉的汤姆和杰瑞，还有许多以供玩耍的小道具。比如拿出杰瑞和西瓜模型，让老鼠在吃西瓜时得意忘形，戏耍汤姆，稍后再让汤姆展开反攻。大猫利用体型优势将杰瑞耍的团团转，更用嘴开炮猛轰对手。走投无路的小杰瑞找到一本柔道练习书，经过短暂的学习迅速进化成柔道高手。遭遇挫折的汤姆自然不会善罢甘休，他苦练拳击技巧，气势汹汹卷土重来。 　　一连串无休无止并且逐渐升级的猫鼠大战，两位功夫大师各逞其能……
